I don't really see increasing the amount of the death benefit. It was never meant for anything but temporary bills/funeral....not as a windfall for the family. Military members already have the opportunity to buy subsidized life insurance at a very good rate. IMHO, it is just playing politics. I did not agree with paying off the folks who lost loved ones in 9/11 either. They are no different than a person killed in any other accident...car, plane, thresher, etc....

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
